Rolling Pins

Thank you  for your purchase of a hand-crafted French-style rolling pin!  

We’ve taken advice from the folks at America’s Test Kitchen to give you a beautiful, yet fully functional rolling pin. According to ATK, too smooth of a pin, and your flour won’t stick to your pin, but your dough will. So you’ll notice a somewhat “fuzzy” feel. We’ve left all the cross-grain scratches and only sanded through 150 grit. Normally we’d sand our items to 300 grit or more, but that would affect the functionality. So as much as it pains us to do so, we leave it rough on purpose.  

The flat in the area in the middle is around 7”, again, according to ATK, that’s the perfect size for a 9” pie.  

Care is pretty simple – wipe with a damp cloth and put it back in your drawer. You can put some mineral oil on it once in a while if you’d like to. But truthfully, we haven’t oiled our pin in quite a while. It picks up oils from doughs you roll, so there’s that. Nothing wrong with oiling it though, if you prefer.  

We hope you get many years of use from your Round Barn Woodcrafts rolling pin. Happy baking!
